Q: Is it permissible to keep the name “jalila”, what is the correct spelling in latin letters for this name and the name “jamila”? Prefably according to Dutch spelling.
A:
Jaleelah means sublime, exalted and great.
Jameelah means beautiful and attractive.
This is correct spelling. We do not know beyond this.
And Allah Ta’ala knows best.
